Nguyen Phuong Nhi (S3979682) is a student majoring in Business at Hanoi Campus. One

noteworthy aspect about her is her diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). This

diagnosis has influenced her inclination for exploring various new hobbies, such as digital art,

drumming, astronomy, photography, philosophy, crocheting, gardening, writing, and video

games. Her fascination with video games has cultivated an admiration for the artwork,

characters, and 3D environments within them, particularly the character named Killjoy in the

game Valorant. The representation of women in the technology industry has presented its

challenges, but the choice made by Riot Games to feature Killjoy as a tech-savvy woman has

motivated Nguyen Phuong Nhi to pursue a career in the field of technology. She possesses a

combined with her open-mindedness towards learning, positions her as a valuable asset to the

Eden team.

Tran Quang Minh (s4020220) was born in Vietnam, a country where the IT industry is

experiencing significant growth, contributing to the overall development of the economy. Minh

possesses a curious nature and has a keen interest in researching new theories. Alongside his

explorations, he is interested in the film industry, as it provides insights into the intricate roles

played by each character in a scene. This aspect of filmmaking aligns with the director's

creativity, which resonates with Minh, given his background as an IT developer and aspiring AI

engineer. That is why Minh chose to pursue AI as their major at RMIT University, recognizing

role models, as his impassioned speeches about technology's potential to revolutionize the

world ignited Minh's desire to explore further. As a result, Minh began studying coding and

delving into discrete mathematics early on, while simultaneously participating in various

projects to enhance their skills. One such project involved building a website for food reviews,

but it didn't gain traction due to the absence of a suitable domain and server for maintenance.

Nguyen Ngoc Nam (s3932142) was born in Ha Noi and he is currently studying IT at RMIT.

Ever since he was a kid, playing computer games was something he loved to do with his

friends. Gradually, as he grew up, playing games led him to IT. His friend in high school taught

him Python, his first programming language. I remember vividly that Python was the first

demands excellent people. He knows that he has to put in a lot of effort in order to succeed in

the IT world. Nam has no regrets since joining RMIT and he intends to have no regrets when

leaving this school.

delivers a relaxing and delightful learning environment. The game has appealing images,

soothing melodies, and interactive aspects that allow players to tailor their experience. "Eden

Corner" provides a unique and successful approach to increasing focus and academic

performance by fostering stress reduction, relaxation, and the development of critical life skills.

The project's goal is to create a warm ambiance game that addresses the issues that people with

ADHD and those who struggle with self-learning experiences. By combining educational aspect

with a relaxing environment, the game aims to improve concentration and make studying

enjoyable. Players can immerse themselves in a virtual learning environment that promotes

relaxation, decreases distractions, and nurtures good study habits by using captivating images,

soothing noises, and interactive features. By completing their tasks and managing time properly

within the game, players can gain essential life skills, which can improve their academic

The motivation behind the "Eden Corner" idea stems from the realization that people have

difficulty staying focused and organizing their study space. The need to create a stimulating and

relaxing study environment grows as the prevalence of ADHD and the difficulties students face

with self-learning rise - according to the National Survey of Children Health (NSCH), there are

more than 1 in 11 children who suffer from ADHD (2021) and 10.5 million individuals (aged

18 to 44) have adult ADHD, with a prevalence incidence of 4.4% (Kessler et al., 2006).

cutting-edge technology, informative content, and user experience design to produce a

worthwhile and significant product. It demonstrates our ability to create immersive experiences

that tackle actual problems and offer solutions in line with modern trends.

The "Virtual Cottage" by DU&I is one of several digital tools and platforms that are currently

available to help students organize their study area and sharpen their attention. But "Eden

Corner" stands apart from its rivals by providing a unique combination of elements. In contrast

to conventional study methods, "Eden Corner" offers a game-like experience with detailed

visuals, a peaceful soundscape with interactive elements that make studying pleasurable. It

offers a personalized and customizable study environment, allowing players to decorate their

own study space and assign tasks based on their preferences. The distinctive combination of

gaming features, relaxation techniques, and educational content distinguishes "Eden Corner"

from other study tools. It creates a unique option for people looking for an immersive and

productive learning experience.

delightful virtual learning environment in which participants can learn good time management,

organizing, and cleaning practices while lowering stress and anxiety. By reaching this goal, the

project seeks to improve academic performance and provide individuals with the resources they

need to succeed in their educational endeavors and beyond.

ambiance. The game will create a virtual area where players may avoid distractions, unwind,

and focus on their tasks by incorporating appealing visuals, calming soundscapes, and

interactive components. The goal is to create an environment that encourages relaxation,

minimizes stress, and stimulates enjoyment, thus making studying more enjoyable.

game that not only enhances learning but also helps players improve their study skills and

habits over time.

incorporated in our project. By doing so, we wanted to make a game that not only met our own

After that, we held brainstorming sessions in which we discussed and modified our ideas until

the concept of "Eden Corner" emerged. We envisioned a game that would offer a relaxing and

engaging virtual study environment in which players could learn essential life skills while

reducing stress and improving concentration. The game's aspects would include time

management, organization, and discipline, with the ultimate goal of improving academic

performance. As a result of our efforts, we were able to successfully establish the foundation for

our project, outlining the essential features and functionalities that will set our game apart from

others. This advancement is a significant milestone as we go to the next stage of development,

building on the foundation we've laid to bring our vision to life.

study atmosphere. Throughout the design process, the mood board served as a reference point,

maintaining consistency and a coherent visual identity.

Next, we started the actual interface design, turning our ideas into tangible pictures. We began

by sketching out the game interface, setting out the layout, positioning interactive elements, and

overall composition. These sketches allowed us to visualize the user interface and refine the

design before proceeding to the next step.

not contact the last person. Despite having one less member than other groups, we still tried our

best to produce this project to our fullest extent. After meeting each other for the first time at

school, we decided on which platform to contact each other and end up with Facebook if we can

not meet each other directly at least once a week. At first, the group members were a bit shy to

express their ideas since we were still not familiar with each other at the time. Furthermore, our

group members were quite busy with their other work and classes so we could only meet others

once a week during class. Obviously, meeting only once per week was simply not enough, we

needed to overcome our communication issues and chatting through Facebook was not a

thorough solution. Eventually, we decided on a day that everyone in the group was free to meet

up and discuss the project. Gradually, we started to become more open towards each other and

have learned a great deal, not only from the lectures but also from the collaborative nature of

the group assessments. My teammates have been supportive in helping me understand basic Git

and develop this cozy game concept. As both a developer and a customer with a need for a

suitable study environment, I actively participated in contributing my ideas and requirements

for the game. This collaborative effort also gave me the opportunity to improve my digital art

drawing skills as I contributed to sketching and creating 3D models for the game. However,

there is still room for improvement in terms of workload distribution and communication. I did

hope that the team would take more initiative without constant reminders from me. Although I

understand that everyone in the group has other assignments and responsibilities, I would have

appreciated more proactive engagement from some members. At times, I had to take the lead in

skills and consider continuing this project or exploring new opportunities in the future. After all,

while there were some problems we could have done better, I believe our group has done well

in this assignment, and I have gained valuable knowledge and skills through our collaborative

efforts.

Throughout the time that we worked together as a group, there were no major challenges that

slowed down the production of our project. I think we worked together quite well and our

communication was productive. Furthermore, I personally feel that we divided our roles for this

project clearly, everyone knew what they had to do and each member was on time with the

completion of their given tasks. Only one noticeable setback that I am aware was using Unity to

challenges, we worked quite well as a team and this journey has allowed me to learn how to

work as a team and important communication skills.

to share with the world my projects, abilities, and accomplishments. When I looked at my

coding website, I was proud of the neat and well-organized design. It was simple to explore and

easy to discover the information. The thorough exhibition of our projects was one of its most

amazing features. The projects section included a concise overview of our work, along with

pertinent brief descriptions. Furthermore, I collaborate with people in the coding community

and actively contribute to open-source projects. This indicates my readiness to pick up

knowledge from others, impart it, and cooperate with myself to create something better. To

enhance my skills, I need to include interactive features like a contact form, a commenting

system, or social network integration. Overall, we can improve the overall user experience

while also establishing a strong presence in the coding community.

Overall, everyone in the group had well-defined responsibilities and precise tasks, making it

simple to distribute works accordingly. Minh was in charge of developing and explaining

difficult Unity parts, while Nhi was mainly accountable for writing the group report and acting

as project coordinator. Nam contributed valuable gaming ideas and assistance throughout the

One thing that could be improved is communication within the Facebook group chat. Given that

we were a team of three working on a project designed for four members, each of us had to take

on additional tasks. Because of our busy study schedules, not everyone was always available on
